Simpsons Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Thankyou so very much, to all of you very special people, your support means so much to me. You guys ROCK!!My little darling Logan completed phase 1 of his treatment yesterday, this meant after being discharged on the Friday before Easter, we travelled to hospital 3 times a week for chemo, during this time he has a few lumber puntures and bone marrow samples inbetween. He has been very brave, I am so proud of him!Thursday he will undergo a procedure to put a port in his chest. So everything they give him will go in through the port, no more digging around for veins or painfull butt injections.Monday he begins phase 2 of his treatment, chemo everyday for the next month.Please keep the positive thoughts and energy flowing and remember him in your prayers.Logan will make full recovery!!!!

Simpsons Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Wow, thanks all for your concern!!!!! Well it has been almost three months since Logan was diagnosed, but it feels like at least 6 already. It has been a complete emotional rollercoaster ride. BUT.....there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I found out during the week that Logan is indeed in remission, how great is that news. However the chemo treatment is a 3 year process regardless, to make sure that all cancer memory is erased, and in the case of leukemia the cancer memory is very stubborn. So yes we are feeling much lighter now, and it is much easier now to be more positive without forcing ourselves too. We are soo very gratefull to EVERYONE for all the support we have recieved.The doctors have reminded us that we are still in for a tuff time and that the chemo is still a grueling thing to undergo because there are poisons etc being pumped into him, so now we need to concentrate on keeping him strong, immune, in remition, and infection free.Well, heres where we are at the moment.We've finished phase 1 wich was roughley 30 days. And he responded well to the treatment in this phase, according to the Doctors....whoop whoop.Started phase 2 wich is more aggresive chemo, this goes on every day for 4 weeks. How it works:- Monday - Finger prick (for blood results, they do this every Monday, to decide whether he will recieve chemo that week, If his blood count is too low they stop it - if they are happy with the blood count you continue chemo for the week. First they pump him full of fluids to flush his system,(quite allot so takes looooonnnng) then chemo through his port/IV. This takes the whole day. Every second Monday as per Tuesday, Thurs, Frid.Tuesday - If we get in to the Hospital between 7:30 - 7:45 we get his chemo through his port (wich was recently put in - much easier, and less traumatic.) Then we get to leave immediatley after, so we're only there for roughly 10-15 minutes, WE LIKE THIS.Wednesday - EVERY Wed, he gets lumberpuncture and chemo through his port. This means starving him from 3 in the morning, they only go into theater 10ish - This is a tuffie, but we are getting better at it.Thursday - Same as TuesdayFriday - Same as Tuesday. Every Second Friday off.At the end of the first week of phase 2 we had a week break as him white counts were VERY low at 0.6, but he pulled through that week without any infections - AMAZING. We have just completed two solid weeks of phase 2 and a blood sample tomorrow will determine wether we will be able to complete the last week of phase 2 without a break, which the doctors say is ideal. I will keep you all updated.Please continue to think positive and pray for him.He truly is a little soldier, we are very proud of him.Kind regardsSimpsons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I salute your brave soldier, and I salute you, as parents.You are often in my thoughts, and i will continue to send positive thoughts Logan's way....Thank you for the update...

Simpsons Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Thanks all sooo very much for your messages, I get goosebumps every time I come online and read the messages.Logan officialy ends phase 2 on Sunday, Monday he goes in for a blood count (Dr suspects he will need platelets, but we will wait and see) and from there we can gage more or less how long untill he begins phase 3 of his treatment.So far So good!!!!!!!here we come FULL RECOVERY, GOOD HEALTH.................
